My name is Doug L. Watson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, RN, and I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with three years of experience treating clients across the lifespan. While I’m trained to work with individuals of all ages, about 85% of my practice has been focused on pediatrics and adolescents—a population I’m truly passionate about serving. I see children as young as five years old through Telehealth up to ages 75 or higher if needed. I earned both my BSN and MSN from Indiana Wesleyan University, completing my graduate degree in October 2022.

I genuinely love what I do and have always felt called to the field of psychiatry. Becoming a Psych/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner has been one of the most fulfilling decisions of my life. I’m excited to be on my own, building a lasting career. I’m committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and making a positive difference in the lives of my clients and their families.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Indianapolis

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Indianapolis starts with care that affirms your identity and fits your goals. Look for a therapist who clearly lists experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, gender identity counseling, gender dysphoria, family or relationship stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Training in affirmative therapy, WPATH-informed care, or experience with gender-diverse clients can also signal that a therapist has relevant background beyond general mental health care.

Indianapolis has a wide range of therapists, which can make it harder to narrow your options by fit. Virtual therapy can expand access to affirming care, especially if nearby offices, commute time, or scheduling limit your choices. As you compare therapists, review whether they are accepting new clients, offer appointment times that work for you, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and work with LGBTQIA+ communities.

Therapy in Indianapolis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, review bios, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
